Can The King Kill The Queen In Chess

Yes, a king can kill a queen in chess as long as doing that doesn’t put the king in check. As per the standard rules, it is illegal to make a move that puts one’s own king in check. So if the queen is protected by another opponent piece then the king can’t kill the queen because that would put the king in check which is illegal. Yes, a king can kill any attacking chess piece such as a queen, knight, rook, bishop, or pawn, even in check.
